The kinetics have been measured of the reactions of 4-nitro-, 4-chloro-, and 4-methoxybenzenediazonium ions with substituted phenylazo derivatives of citrazinic acid in buffer solutions, and the pKa values of the corresponding monoazo and bisazo compounds have been estimated. The reactions of 4-nitrobenzenediazonium ion with 4-chloro- and 4-methoxyphenylazo derivatives and of 4-chlorobenzenediazonium ion with 4-methoxyphenylazo derivative were accompanied by a partial replacement of the substituted phenylazo group by the 4-nitro- and 4-chlorophenylazo groups, respectively. The reactions of 4-chloro- and 4-methoxybenzenediazonium ions are subject to general base catalysis, the rate-limiting step consisting in the splitting off of the proton from the tetrahedral intermediate; with 4-nitrobenzenediazonium ion the reaction rate is limited by the formation of the tetrahedral intermediate.

Kinetics of formation of 2-imino-4-thiazolidone from S-ethoxycarbonylmethylisothiouronium chloride has been studied in aqueous buffers and dilute hydrochloric acid. The reaction is subject to general base catalysis, the β value being 0.65. Its rate limiting step consists in acid-catalyzed splitting off of ethoxide ion from dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. At pH < 2 formation of this intermediate becomes rate-limiting; rate constant of its formation is 2 . 104 s-1.

The kinetics of reaction of 4-methoxybenzenediazonium ion (3) with 2,6-dihydroxypyridine (1) has been studied in methoxyacetate, acetate, and phosphate buffers. The rate-limiting step is the formation of the reaction intermediate and not the splitting off of the proton (which was detected in the cases of citrazinic acid and its methyl ester). Therefrom it follows that for 2,6-dihydroxypyridine derivatives the steric hindrance to the formation of the Wheland intermediate exerted by CO2- and CO2CH3 groups represents a necessary condition for the rate-limiting splitting off of the proton and, hence, for the existence of general base catalysis.

The cyclization kinetics of N-(2-methylcarbonylphenyl)-N’-methylsulfonamide (IIb) into 3-methyl-(1H)-2,1,3-benzothiadiazin-4(3H)-one 2,2-dioxide (Ib) has been studied in ethanolamine, morpholine, and butylamine buffers and in potassium hydroxide solution. The cyclization is subject to general base and general acid catalysis. The value of the Bronsted coefficient β is about 0.1, which indicates that splitting off of the proton from negatively charged tetrahedral intermediate represents the rate-limiting and thermodynamically favourable step. In the solutions of potassium hydroxide the cyclization of dianion of the starting ester IIb probably becomes the rate-limiting step.

The reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzene with 2,3-butanedione is subject to general acid catalysis in acetate and phosphate buffers (pH 4-7). The rate-limiting step of formation of 2,3-dimethylquinoxaline consists in the protonation of dipolar tetrahedral intermediate. In the case of the reaction of 1,2-diaminobenzene with ethyl 2-oxopropanoate, the dehydration of carbinolamine gradually becomes rate-limiting with increasing pH in acetate buffers, whereas in phosphate buffers a new reaction pathway makes itself felt, viz. the formation of amide catalyzed by the basic buffer component and by hydroxide ion.

Kinetics have been studied of hydrolysis and methanolysis of ethyl 3-ethoxy-3-iminopropanoate. The methanolysis rate constant is lower than the hydrolysis rate constant by about 3 orders of magnitude. The rate-limiting step of the hydrolysis consists in the nucleophilic attack of the protonated substrate by a water molecule, whereas that of the methanolysis consists in the decomposition of tetrahedral intermediate which is several orders of magnitude slower than the decomposition of the intermediate formed in the hydrolysis.

Eight derivatives of 1-(2-alkoxycarbonylphenyl)-3-phenyltriazene (R = methyl, ethyl, propyl, isopropyl, butyl, isobutyl, hexyl, and allyl) have been synthesized and their UV-VIS, IR, 1H and 13C NMR spectra measured. The NMR spectra have been interpreted in detail. The kinetics of acid-catalyzed decomposition and base-catalyzed cyclization of the title compounds have been measured in 52.1% w/w methanol at 25.0 °C. The unit reaction order has been verified and the cyclization product has been identified. The pH-profiles obtained have been used to calculate the catalytic rate constants kA (acid-catalyzed decomposition) and kB (base-catalyzed cyclization) of all the derivatives; the constants have been interpreted with regard to inductive and steric effects. The catalytic rate constant kA has been found to be independent of the substituents. The catalytic rate constant kB depends statistically significantly upon both inductive and steric effects, the sensitivity to the former being more significant. The experimental results and their interpretation confirm the base-catalyzed cyclization mechanism with formation of tetrahedral intermediate as the rate-limiting step.

The kinetics of nucleophilic substitution reactions of 1-(phenoxycarbonyl)pyridinium ions, prepared with the essentially non-nucleophilic/non-basic fluoroborate as the counterion, have been studied using up to 1.60 M methanol in acetonitrile as solvent and under solvolytic conditions in 2,2,2-trifluoroethan-1-ol (TFE) and its mixtures with water. Under the non- solvolytic conditions, the parent and three pyridine-ring-substituted derivatives were studied. Both second-order (first-order in methanol) and third-order (second-order in methanol) kinetic contributions were observed. In the solvolysis studies, since solvent ionizing power values were almost constant over the range of aqueous TFE studied, a Grunwald–Winstein equation treatment of the specific rates of solvolysis for the parent and the 4-methoxy derivative could be carried out in terms of variations in solvent nucleophilicity, and an appreciable sensitivity to changes in solvent nucleophilicity was found.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution 1H NMR spectroscopy at high magnetic fields is employed to study the reaction kinetics of the Si(OCH3)4:CH3OH:H2O sol-gel system. Both the overall extent of reaction as a function of time and the equilibrium distribution of species are measured. In acid catalyzed solution, condensation is the rate limiting step while in base catalyzed solution, hydrolysis becomes rate limiting. A kinetic model in which the rate of hydrolysis is assumed to be independent of the adjacent functional groups is presented. This model correctly predicts the distribution of product species during the initial stages of the sol-gel reaction.

Indoleamine 2,3-dioxygenase (IDO) is the first and rate-limiting step along the kynurenine pathway and is thought to play a key role in immune homeostasis through depletion of tryptophan and accumulation of kynurenines. In this review we summarize recent research into the possibility of harnessing the IDO pathway for the therapy of rheumatoid arthritis. Inhibition of IDO activity, or knockout of the gene encoding IDO, was shown to cause an increase in the severity of collagen-induced arthritis, an animal model of rheumatoid arthritis. The increased severity of disease was associated with elevated numbers of pathogenic Th1 and Th17 cells in the joints and draining lymph nodes. In another study, analysis of the kinetics of expression of downstream kynurenine pathway enzymes during the course of arthritis revealed a potential role for tryptophan metabolites in resolution of arthritis. Furthermore, the therapeutic administration of L-kynurenine or [3,4-dimethoxycinnamonyl]-anthranilic acid (a synthetic derivative of 3-hydroxy-anthranilic acid) significantly reduced both clinical and histological progression of experimental arthritis. These findings raise the possibility of exploiting the IDO pathway for the therapy of autoimmune disease.
